Senator Hnnton. of Virginia, and Senator Kyle.

The story was published la full by -New York paper this morning and with the exceptioa of a matter of detail, is sub stantially correct. "Yes," said Mr.

Hunton. "the stdry is correct, although I am sorry that it has been made public.

Recently he said he had been about the Capitol in the role of lobbyist. Pertinent query in connection with the case is, who is the man?

May 16. The State con vention of the People's party ia Georgia is ia session here.

The convention is characterized by its very large attend ance and extreme enthusiasm. It cer tainly Indicates that so far from being a dead issue the party is very much alive ia this State. The attitude ot tne present administration aince the last cam- naiga la taken as the reason lor such a cyclone of excitement among the Populists as this convention developed. When Tom Watson, the famous leader of the party, made his appearance in the hall this morning he was given such an ovation as was never given any man by a political convention in Georgia since the old. days of other and older parties.

He was made chairman of the convention and made a speech severely criticising the coarse of the present Administration. "Two years ago," he said, "we were fed noon the ambrosia of Democratic expec tations. To-day we are gnawing the corn-cob of Democratic reality." Upon such a text he made a lurid speech aad was cheered to the echo by more than 800 persons present. He intimated that if the Chicago Democratic platform had been strictly adhered to by the Adminis tration, there would have been no such convention of Populists in Georgia to day. 'The convention "knuckled down to business by putting several committees to work, a committee on platform was appointed.

This committee has been at work all day and will not report until tomorrow. They are going about the task 01 making a platform with marked can- uoa and will doubtless do all they can towards securing such a one as will catch votes on many local Issues in this btate. The platform will endorse Intoto the Omaha platform of the party Govern ment ownership of railroads and all. It will urge the doing away with the present convict system in Georgia. To-morrow the btate ticket will be nominated.

It is pretty certain that Jadge J. K. Hines, a prominent lawyer of this city, will be their candidate for the Governorship. The Populists really prefer to have Watson run for Gover nor, but be intends to be a candidate lor Congress in the 10th district, which he represented in the Fifty-second Con gress.

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS. Convention of the Third Crasjresstonal Dis trictThe Beaolutions Adopted Balloting forConarsssiiun. By Telggraph to tha Morning Star. Chattanooga, Tenn May 16.

The Democratic Convention of the Third Congressional District of Tennessee met at Cleveland to-day and adopted resolu tions favoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver, the Wilson bill, the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banks, aad tabled resolutions endorsing the present Administration but adopted resolutions endorsing the course of Sen ators-Harris and Bate. Balloting commenced at 12 o'clock to-day. and at 9 p. m. 820 ballots had been taken as did the first ballot, 104 for renomination or Congress- aa bnodgrass aad 67 for rarer.

It takes 114 for a choice. Snodgrass had 81 and Frazer 67 with three contested counties omitted. When the conven tion assembled the Snodgrass people voted au their delegates from the con tested counties. The remarkable feature of the contest is that the Snodgrass leaders and those most determined in opposition to the present administration are appointees of Mr. Cleveland.

The officeholders are ia control of the con vention. It is said the Snodgrass people are de termined no recess shall be taken until a nomination is made. The convention will probably be in session all night. 1 ALABAMA PRIMARIES. Ho Qossdon of Oataa' Nomination.

S. A giving his surety for the purpose of securing an appeal in the case of Pollard vs. Breckinridge, in the Dis trict Court of Appeals. Oa the bearing of tne motion lor a new trial before Bradley oa tne 28th of last month, a new trial was refused, and the defendant. Colonel Breckinridge, was given thirty days in which to file a bill of excep tion in order to make an appeal.

Shortly after 8 clock counsel lor Coxey, Browne and Jones filed in Judga Bradley's court an application for a writ of certiorari to stay the carrying into effect ot the verdict in Police Judge Miller's Court, Justice Bradley will render his opinion on the application oa Friday. The District Attorney announced that Judge Miller would suspend sentence until the pending application was decided. The night and the forenoon passed at the Coxey camp at Bladensburg without incident, except the continually diminishing numbers of the corralled tramp. the increase in the number of "drunks" and the continued absence of paying gate receipts. A brick oven has been con structed to bake into bread the car-load of flour received from Missouri yesterday.

The absence of President Cleveland from the city on his fishing trip and the consequent impossibility ot re-com missioning Judge Miller for a new term, till his return, will probably cause a delay of some days in passing sentence on the convicted leaders, Coxey, Browne and Jones, or determing what course shall be taken on their counsels motion lor a supersedeas.

The Demo cratic Convention remained in session until 2.15 a. m- and adjourned without disposing of the platform ques tion, until 10 clock this morning. It was 10.45, however, before the Convention was called to order. The silver question was the bone of contention. The majority report of the Platform Committee, as originally pre sented, was finally adopted, all efforts to amend it having failed.

It contains a declaration for tariff for revenue only; denounces the McKinley bill, favors an income tax as proposed in the Wilson bill, and free coinage of gold and silver. John A.

jChsnto of nronrlattoa Bill Under Consideration la th Bouse. Br Telegraph to tha Moraing Star. senate. Washington. May 15.

Exactly three weeks ago to-day the Senate began the consideration of the Tariff bill by para- graphs for amendment. When the Sen ate adjourned yesterday 28 items of the bill all comprised within- the chemical schedule (a) had been considered and disposed of. leaving 47 items on that schedule still to be acted on. Mr. Lodge offered a resolution recit ing a statement in the New York Sun that bribes have been offered to certain Senators to induce them to vote against the pending Tariff bill, and a signed ar ticle in the Philadelphia Times, stating that the sugar schedule has been made up, as it now stands, in consideration of a large sum of money paid for campaign purposes of the Democratic party, and providing for the appointment of a com mittee 01 nve senators to investigate these The vice-f resident What action does the Senator desire? Mr.

Lodge I ask for the present con sideration of the resolution. Mr. Cockrell Let it be printed and lie on the table. The resolution went over till to morrow under the rule. The Tariff bill was taken up at noon.

Progress made upon it' to-day was not so satisfactory as that made yesterday, but that was owing largely to the fact that nearly two hours time was con sumed in the delivery of a speech by Mr, Gallinger, which he described as an accurate historical analysis of American legislation since the day when the Pilgrims put their feet on Plymouth rock. He had only got to the Polk election in 1844. when he yielded the floor, with the purpose of continuing the subiect hereafter. Mr. Dubois Idaho) followed in a short speech, in which he expressed his preference to have the bill passed promptly rather than have the Tariff question left undecided and declared that the highest and most stable pros perity would come only when protection was united with bi-metaiiism.

The result of to-day action was to dispose of fourteen items in the chemi cal schedule. Mr. Chandler consumed about half an hour in reading testimony and arguing in support 01 his contention should be a -X given to ochre, sienna and umber, and he moved a duty of one-eighth of a cent per pound on these earths when dry, The motion was laid on the table yeas. 33; nays, 10. The Senate then, at 6.10, went into executive session and shortly afterwards adjourned until to-morrow at 11 a.

m. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In the House in its early proceedings Mr. Mcuana ilkol, iiL) asked unanl mous consent for consideration of the House joint resolution appointing a joint committee of Congress to invest! gate and report within thirty days the cause of the present industrial depres sion, but met obiection from Mr. Ding- ley, of Maine, and Mr.

Burrows, of Michigan, ine first named thongbt such an undertaking to be concluded within thirty days was rather hopeless. and suggested that other business would better engage the attention ot the House. Mr. Burrows thought thirty days was too long and ironically suggested ten minutes as about the proper period. 1 1 Tne regular order was demanded and the committees were called for reports.

At the conclusion of the call, Mr. Springer stated that, according to an announcement made last week, the bill relating to the tax upon clearinghouse certificates and other substitutes for currency issued last Summer and Fall, was to have been called up to-day, but pursuant to an understanding subse quently entered into, the matter would be postponed until after the Legislative, Executive and ludiaal Appropriation bill has been disposed of, probably some day next week. The House, Committee of the Whole (Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, in the Chair), proceeded to the further consideration of the Agricultural Ap propriation bill. Mr.

Marsh 111.) moved to sttike out the paragraph appropriating for collecting and publishing agricultural statistics. He denounced the system of crop reports issued monthly from the Department as useless and un necessary. The farming interests, he not benefitted by them. but the speculator was. Mr.

Marsh's motion on a division of the House received 28 affirmative and 78 negative votes, whereupon he made the point of no quorum and a vote by tellers was ordered. This showed about the same proportion of votes oa the mo tion, and. without watting for a Quorum to appear, Mr. Marsh withdrew the point and the motion was defeated. The paragraph making appropriation lor seed distribution occasioned a debate of an hour: or more, led by Mr.

Rav (Rep N. in opposition to the language of the bill, which, he said, would make ltt possible for the Secretary of Agriculture to abandon the purchase and distribution of seeds. Nothing came of 1', however. -s Mr. Pickler's motion to Increase the appropriation for teed distribution from $130,000 to $160,000 was agreed to 78 to 62.

(The amount named ia the bill was the same as appropriated for the current year, but the Secretary is author ized to use $30,000 of the appropriation for publishing bulletins.) No further progress with the bill was made and at p. the committee rose and the House adjourned until toroor- 7 BASE BALL. dames Flayed Yesterday at Various Flaees. By Tafasrapa tha Mormlaa Sok.

The Con ference was opened this morning with Bishop Graberry in the chair. Dr. 1. S. Kennedy, of the Holston Conference, conducted the' morning devotional exercises.

The assemblage knelt in prayer, after which the regular session of busi ness was taken up. Secretary Denny read the minutes of last night's session, and they were approved. Bishop Graberry then retired and Bishop Hargrove took the chair. The call for special committees was ordered to be taken up. The report ot the Committee on Mis sions was read.

Dr. Swindell moved that the rules be suspended and the pa per adopted. The motion to suspend was put and carried. At a previous session a resolution ask ing for a united Methodist Church in I a pan was offered. The Committee oa Missions did not think it time for this yet, The committee recommended E.

W. Cole for President of the Board of Missions, with two secretaries. A minority report was offered prond ing that three secretaries be elected for the Board of Missions, but on motion of Dr. Andrews it was tabled. Several members protested against the summary action ol the conference in cutting off debate; they favored the mi nority report, Dr.

Swindell moved that the report be taken up item by item agreed to. be hrst part ol the report recom mended that the Board of Missions con sist of a President, a Vice-President, two secretaries and twenty-five managers, Dr. Swindell moved as an amendment that the word 'two (referring to secre taries) be eliminated and the word three be inserted in its place. Dr. Alexander moved to table Dr, Swindell's substitute.

Dr. Swindell spoke the full length of time accorded him and only sat down when the secre tary told him his time was up. He favored the minority report. Dr. waas worth, advocating the mi nority report, also made a lengthy speech.

He said the Conference wished to suppress the minority. Dr. Whitehead rose to a point of order, saying the majority had disclaimed the statement and the Confer ence had sustained them in it. Dr. Matthews next spoke.

He stated that he was for the minority report from the outset and said Methodist preachers were behind the times in these matters and needed reinforcement, and the sec retaries were the reinforcement needed, Dr. Matthews, who is an aged member of the body, convulsed all who heard his speech. He good-naturedly lashed with his tongue those persons who opposed the minority report. Dr. Morton moved the previous ques tion and the motion prevailed.

The amendment was put to a vote and lost. The item of the majority report which had caused all the trouble was then read, put to a vote and carried. The next item of the report was read and adopted, as were the remaining items, the most important ot which was that which contained the nominations for officers and members of the Mission Board. They are as follows E. W.

The secretaries of the Mission Board will be elected to-morrow, when it will be the special order to elect connectional officers. Dr. Morrison moved to suspend the rules and take up the report of the Com mittee on church extensions which re lates to the election of assistant mission secretaries.

Carried. Dr. Tigert moved that the time al lowed to each speaker be cut from fifteen to five minutes. Adopted, after discus sion. Report number 5, of the Temperance Committee, was read by the chair man who afterwards moved a suspension of the rules to adopt the paper.

Carried and the report adopted. The committee of three appointed to investigate the purposes and papers of the "Peace Congress reported concur rence in the movement. Upon motion the rules were suspended and the report adopted. Dr. Heidt read a resolution which asked that a committee of three be appointed to go through the calendar and select and bring before the Board the most important business.

Maw The Emnire City Coliseum and Washington Park, better known- as oner woods, was totally destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock this morning. Beside it lie the ruins Of one of the largest stone works in the city, about fifteen stables and twice as many shanties, and among the ashes are the charred skeletons of fifty horses. The fire spread to the stables so quickly that was impossible to liberate the horses and they perished in their stalls. The ruins extend over four blocks. A strong wind blew the flames from Washington Park on Sixty-ninth street northward to Seventy-first street and southward to Sixty-seventh street, and half an hour after the first spark had been seen the whole space between avenue and the East river, within, the boundaries of these streets, was a sea of flames." En- sine No.

39, at work on Sixty-ninth street was caught in the avalanche of fire and had to be abandoned. The en gine horses were barely saved, as the fire spread so rapidly that the firemen were compelled to run for their lives. In the shanties among the stables north and south of the Park the sleeping occupants were dragged from their beds by the police and firemen, and stood shivering in their night clothes on the edged of the fire lines, as their houses and household goods vanished before their eyes. Fighting the fire within the four blocks radius was impossible and the firemen directed their efforts at first solely to prevent the flames from spreading. The fire only began to abate under the streams of water thrown from the fifteen engines which responded to the four alarms sent out.

The police estimate the loss at $231,000, of which 1131.000 was done to property outside the Park. John Schultheis, manager of the pleasure gardens, however, placed his loss at (300,000. The people who saw the fire agree that it was one of the fiercest conflagrations that has occurred the city for years. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

By Telegraph to tha Moraine Stat. Chicago, May 18. Yesterday wheat broke with the news nearly all bullish. TO-daytne market with like inconsis tency advanced under conditions that are ordinarily considered conducive to a de cline. Why the course of prices should be in direct opposition to the trend of the advices was enigmatical to the trade, who finally accepted the situation in the light of a natural recovery from the of late depressed state of the market.

There was very little feature to the trade. At the opening, which was weak and lower. Lam son Bros. 5 Co. were the best buy ers and their purchases extended throughout the session.

Armour was credited with selling some, so was Par tridge, while Linn, the heaviest seller yes terday, was set down as a buyer to-day. The situation in cash wheat remained unchanged. Offerings were light and the nsoal decnand existed. Prices did not show any radical change. July wheat ranged from 57c to 66c closing at 58 57c a gain of K3rfc from yes terday.

Corn This corn was more active than for some time past. There was large buying by a prominent firm who were supposed to be short of the market. The action of wheat had considerable effect. July corn sold between VtKc and 37Kc closing a shade under yesterday at 3754c. uats The same people who were prominent on the buying side of corn held the same position in oats.

The differ ence in the condition of the two markets consisted of lighter offerings in oats and a much firmer tone of prices for that ce real, particularly of the near-by options. July closed Jfc over yesterday, and May at an advance of over that day. Cash oats were in good demand at an advance of over yesterday. Provisions were dull and during the early part of the session very weak. The hog market was very much demoralized and it was not to be expected that pro duct would hold up under the circum stances.

Later in the session; however. the depression wore off and prices ral lied in sympathy with grain. Some of the packers made a pretense of support ing tne market, but there was no pressure of offerings. July pork and July hud closed unchanged, and July ribs zqoc. lower.
